Cool, I'm glad you like it. I understand your complaint, since Yavin is such a classic part of the series.

I felt pretty strongly about making a cut that you could see in one sitting, and there was a lot of dead weight plot-wise with the first death star. In other words, i was making a cut that made sense as its own movie, irrespective of what was in the original movies. So it didn't make a lot of sense to have two death stars. When I made that cut, it made complete sense in its own internal logic - the homing beacon was placed on the millenium falcon, and the empire follows them to hoth, where their base was.

Of course, it's not perfect, logically speaking, because at first the death star is whole then later on you see it in construction. But that's a small detail that's much more easily overlooked than destroying the death star once, then simply destroying it again later on. Taking everything into account, and seeing as I wanted to make this for the virgin SW mind as much as for the die-hard fan, it seemed to be the right thing to do.

To be honest, the two death star thing has always bothered me. It was like they couldn't think of anything better when they were writing ROTJ, so they just did the same damn thing they did in the first movie.
